Why should we study the Bible?

In this first episode of our new series on How to Study the Bible, we lay the foundation by talking about motivation. Before we ever discuss methods, tools, or techniques, we need to examine the heart behind why we open God’s Word in the first place.

Is it to gain knowledge? To win arguments? To feel spiritual? Or is it to know God more deeply and be changed by Him?

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why the Bible is meant to transform us — not be used as a weapon against others

• How awe and love for God should drive our study

• Why Jesus is the true focal point of all Scripture

• The danger of knowledge without humility

• How God uses His Word to direct, correct, and shape our lives

If you want your time in Scripture to move from routine to life-changing, this episode will help you examine your “why” and approach the Bible with renewed purpose.

Open your Bible. Come with humility. And let God change you from the inside out.

In this capstone episode of our Experiencing God series, Dillon and Pastor Drew are joined by Dr. Richard Blackaby for a powerful and personal conversation about the legacy of Experiencing God.

Dr. Blackaby shares the story behind the book’s origin, the ministry of his father Henry Blackaby, and how a message born out of simple obedience has now impacted millions around the world. From the early days of a struggling church in Canada to the global reach of a study translated into dozens of languages, this episode highlights how God works through ordinary people who are willing to say yes.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• How Experiencing God was written (and almost never published)

• The heart behind the “Seven Realities”

• Powerful testimonies of lives transformed around the world

• Why recognizing where God is already working changes everything

• The importance of hearing God’s voice and growing into spiritual maturity

• A preview of the upcoming sequel releasing this June

This episode is a reminder that God is still at work, still speaking, and still inviting His people into a real, personal, life-changing relationship with Him.

If this series has impacted you, this conversation will deepen that foundation and challenge you to continue pursuing not just knowledge about God—but a daily experience with Him.

In this special episode, Pastor Drew and Pastor Kurt take time to discuss what true discipleship is, how the Scripture defines it, and what it should look like in our daily lives.
